What changed this week

Rank and rating are separate measures. State ranking: up 8 spots to No. 73 (from No. 81). MFPI rating: increased 1.8 points to 63.2. Largest component changes since Week 8: recent form −0.6 pts; mfpi strength of schedule −0.4 pts; media rank +0.4 pts. Opponents' ratings are re-solved every week, so these can move without a new game.

Limitations

Ratings use only verified final scores through Oct 27, 2026, 11:00 AM CDT. Media rank and media strength of schedule (from MaxPreps) contribute 20%. MFPI does not consider injuries, rosters or weather, and it is not a prediction.
